  • 01/2020 Fishing Report by Sam Cumming

    Jan 2020 by Sam Cumming

    It’s always nice to get the New Year rolling with a really decent rod bending day out, the first trip of 2020 did not disappoint. We headed to the offshore banks south of Poole about 20 miles and fished comfortably all day with up to 24oz of lead. There was about 15 knots of wind so we would have had a good excuse if the fish hadn’t been playing ball. Luckily that wasn’t the case at all and other than re anchoring at slack water we pretty much had fish on for the entire day. We had a good mix of blonde rays, spurdogs, bull huss, whiting, congers and even tope and smoothound. Top fish of the day went to Darryl Morrell for his 29lb 8oz blonde ray which was one of 5 rays he had. This bodes well for the next couple of months as the height of the season is usually mid March. Elsewhere we were pleased to get out every day between Boxing day and New Years Eve, with the tides being a bit on the big side we stuck to the fishing inshore. We had plenty of whiting in Poole Bay along with small eyed and undulate rays. Pushing slightly further out for the slack produced some better fish and even one small cod but we couldn’t get away from the congers which smashed a lot of the baits that went down. We are looking forward to our first wreck trip of the season in early February and hopefully some better weather at some point.

    As the days get colder it signals the end of all the long range stuff for a month or two until the spurdogs arrive at the end of December. Our last shark trip of the year was a success producing a nice porbeagle of 110lb for Adrian Black. It was caught in fairly shallow water so put up a very energetic scrap. This year we put plenty of time and effort into developing our shark fishing and it paid off well as we averaged over one fish per trip; if you had offered me that at the start of the year I would have bitten your hand off. Biggest porbeagle went 250lb with a nice average of around the 100lb mark. The highlight was seeing the two big thresher sharks both estimated at around 450lb, an absolute adrenaline rush to see these fish jumping around in the water. Inshore we have started our winter fishing at anchor which will be our main focus for a while. We have had our first cod and also pollock and some nice rays. There are rather a lot of congers out on the ground at the moment which does make it difficult to keep bait down for sensible periods of time. Hopefully they will get bored and move on before December. Our trips to Alderney and Guernsey are starting to fill up so make sure to book up soon to avoid disappointment.

    After a brilliant run of weather over the last 4 weeks I’m actually quite glad to have a day off to be writing this and catching up with all the maintenance jobs. As mentioned in the last report we had quite a few shark trips planned for this season. After some success late on in the year last October I really got the bug for this sort of thing and it spurred me on to invest in some new rods reels and tackle and have more of a go this time around. With a decent bit of weather it’s been possible to have a good look around in some new areas. Thankfully they didn’t take much finding and as I write this we haven’t had a blank trip yet. The porbeagle sharks have been up to 250lb which is 7 feet in length. Once alongside the sharks are brought onboard to be unhooked safely and re-oxygenated using the deck hose ensuring they are in the best condition for a quick release. Our circle hooks always hook the fish just in corner of the mouth which means we never have to cut any of them off and leave the metal behind in the sharks. The biggest highlight was getting 2 enormous thresher sharks within a week of each other. The first run you get when they take the bait is breathtaking followed by some brilliant acrobatics as they jump clear out of the water several times. This really is a big game fish and the adrenaline rush from being hooked up to one of these for a couple of hours is awesome. The one we were able to measure was 9 feet long from nose to the fork of the tail, using the size estimate charts this puts it at over 450lb. After catching 3 porbeagles in the morning my angler was well and truly shattered by the end of the day. Only a few individual spaces left for shark fishing this year but 2020 is starting to take shape so get booked up quick. Over the other side of the channel our last two Alderney trips have gone well despite challenging weather conditions. Such seems to be our luck this year as we have just cancelled the final one for the end of September. The bream fishing has been great with both black and couches turning up in good size and numbers. On our trip last week we were pleasantly surprised by a nice hit of brill, all between 4 and 7lb 8oz, a bit of a shocker considering how late in the year it is. In August we were going about our business on the turbot banks when we were treated to thousands of tuna breaking the surface and chasing a bait ball around. An amazing sight which carried on for the entire trip as the massive bluefin tuna kept popping up everywhere we went chasing their prey and crashing around on the surface. I’ll always have be keeping more of an eye on the horizon from now on when fishing around the island as you never know. We are know taking booking for Alderney and Guernsey 2020.

    Again I find myself sat in my lounge on a Saturday rather than taking you guys out after the bass or plaice, just seems to be our luck that the wind is always blowing just a little bit too much this year. The fish have definitely been keen to get involved when we have managed to get out. Starting inshore the plaice have been good fun on the spinning rods with fish over the 3lb mark coming every trip, not quite hit 4lb recently but can’t be too far away. This type of drift fishing has been hampered by the weather a lot as a light westerly is best but we seem to always have 15 knots or more to contend with, giving us an unnatural drift speed. Out on the bass grounds the fishing has been brilliant with most of the fish coming to lures. Plenty of small fish in there of about 2lb heading back for next year and a nice one for the table for everyone that wants one. On the smaller tides the tope have provided great sport mixed in with all types of rays, some congers, huss and even the always welcome bonus turbot. I always try to have a shark rod out on a float whilst tope fishing, all the large mackerel flappers going up and down through the tide sets up a pretty handy chum trail. Last Monday it was it was clearly well worth a go when the first conger up to the boat was bitten in half by something with big teeth. After a few hours knocking out the tope the clicker screamed off on the shark rod and the lads were rewarded with a nice porbeagle of about 6 feet in length, good signs for our upcoming shark trips if we can get the weather. Our last wreck trip of the year turned out to be one of the best for cod with one small wreck producing all the fish. Along with ling and congers at anchor I think good fun was had by all. We are looking forward to finally getting over to Alderney next week as we haven’t managed to get over there since May. 2020 bookings are up to date for Alderney and Guernsey trips so get booking now.

    Silver Spray II

    Fished with Sam on Silver Spray on Saturday 3rd August. Every now and again you have one of those red-letter days, and this was certainly one of them. The day was meant to be a mix of bass fishing, with tope over the slack.
    We had a few bass to live baits in the morning, and then the lures started to produce results. At slack water we tried for a bonus turbot or ray, but then the tide turned, and the bass really came on the feed. Every type of lure and every colour seemed to work! By the end of the day we all had our one "keeper" each, but the afternoon session never stopped. I would say we must have been close to 100 bass in total for the day. Great skipper, great boat, good company, and the best days fishing I've had in years. Cheers Sam.
